Document background
A Fresh Certificate of Incorporation is issued when a new company is successfully registered with ACRA in Singapore. It serves as the primary evidence of a company's legal existence and is required for opening bank accounts, entering into contracts, and conducting business operations. The certificate includes essential information such as the company's registration number, date of incorporation, and type of company. Under Singapore law, this document must be obtained before a company can commence operations, and it remains a crucial reference document throughout the company's lifecycle. The certificate is issued pursuant to the Companies Act 1967 and confirms compliance with all incorporation requirements.
